The City of Port Adelaide Enfield
holds a deep respect for the
Aboriginal people in our community
and their continued passion to
educate us about their long-
standing, sustainable culture
and the traditions of learning and
respect that will be important to
our shared future.
The Mudlangga to Yertabulti Track has been
developed as a means of telling the stories of
just some of the Aboriginal people who have
had a long association with the area.
By visiting the sites, reading the signs and
studying the website and brochure you will
gain a stronger understanding of the lives of
Aboriginal people in both the recent and
distant past.
The project respected the cultural and
personal ownership of the storytellers. Fourteen
long-standing Aboriginal residents of the Port
and Lefevre Peninsula were interviewed by
Dr Kristine Peters of KPPM.
The stories you read have not been edited.
Council believes that it is important that the
integrity of the story is respected, using the
language of the story teller. We invite you to
share in the Mudlangga to Yertabulti experience
which reflects a way of thinking that sustained
Aboriginal people for more than 50,000 years.
